Russian President Vladimir Putin will not go to the capture of Odessa region, despite its geographic proximity to the unrecognized Transnistria.

Such opinion in interview “” has expressed the American political analyst Samuel Charap.

“If they have not taken this step in may 2014, after the House of trade unions, then I doubt it. Putin is not all good, but that doesn’t mean he will make a war. Opportunities for a greater escalation that will lead to more sanctions, I don’t see,” he said.

In addition, the expert said that the low rating of Putin is the catalyst for his aggression.

“It’s one of the theories about why Putin is acting anyway. I am not a supporter. On the other hand, the second of the Crimea no. Crimea has always held a special place in public consciousness of Russians. I see no possibility to repeat it in other areas,” – said Charap.

Commenting on the possibility of negotiations between Zelensky and Putin, the American political scientist has noted the ambiguity of the current situation.

“If some time regularly Poroshenko talked with Putin by phone one on one, why Zelensky? Ultimately, someone has to negotiate with the Russian leadership, if that person wants to resolve the conflict. This does not mean that you need to start with a two-way format – a multilateral format can also be effective. I do not presume to judge whether the channel format is more appropriate. But if there is progress in the settlement of bilateral contacts at the highest level can not be avoided.

Of course, Zelensky will not negotiate alone. Alone without advisers and Ministers is unlikely. I must admit that the results of past negotiations is ambiguous. Zelensky can become or the best, or the worst negotiator. Not all politicians were diplomats before they became politicians. He has work to do and need to learn quickly.

But if there are good counselors and Ministers who will prepare a meeting – then you should not be afraid. Need caution to relate to the new President, considering who he was before that he never negotiated with Putin. But to exclude that it will be successful”, – he said.
